Chapter 635 Dragon Palace Legacy

After Dorian (Person Name) achieved his Primordial Spirit breakthrough, as the address "Dao Lord Dorian" sounded rather awkward, cultivators across the Eastern Wastelands (Location) began honoring him as Sage Lord Dorian (Person Name).

Yet regardless of the circumstances, to possess such a revered title demonstrates that a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord's status in the Violet Realm is as exalted as that of a Great Luo Sage Sovereign in the immortal realms.

The man at the late Nascent Soul stage had initially intended to reject the 2, unwilling to let them share in the spoils. Yet at this moment, he suppressed his thoughts and clasped his hands in salute. "I am Jiang Moran. It is an honor to meet you both, Fellow Daoists."

"You honor me with your courtesy, Fellow Daoist."

Eldrin cupped his hands and turned his gaze toward the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool before asking, "What is the current situation within this 9 Dragons' Deep Pool?"

"The formation is relatively well-preserved. Breaking through it will require considerable effort." Jiang Moran shook his head and remarked, "Yet a mere Pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator somehow obtained the token to 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location)."

"Now that he has entered ahead of us, we must act swiftly lest he sweep away all the treasures."

Hearing this, Eldrin and Lyra exchanged a glance before cupping their hands in salute. "To be frank," Eldrin said, "that False Infant cultivator is likely an old friend of mine."

Upon entering, he suffered a grievous wound. Now his soul lamp flickers on the verge of extinction—it seems he has encountered no small trouble.

"This…"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted subtly. The Verdant Verse Ascetic, a False Infant cultivator with a mid-grade Golden Core, and even possessing the token of the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location), had unexpectedly suffered grave injuries after entering.

At this thought, a faint glimmer flickered in Lilith, Mistress of Desire's eyes as she said, "It seems there are still some troubles within the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool. We must proceed with caution."

Jiang Moran observed the scene and remarked, "This defensive formation is a high-grade, fifth-tier array. Fortunately, there’s no True Monarch Nascent Soul overseeing it. If we join forces, we should be able to breach it within 3 months."

"But once this is accomplished, how shall we divide the treasures within?"

"Let's distribute it according to strength and contribution."

Eager to save lives, Eldrin swiftly discussed with them and soon finalized the distribution plan before launching an assault on the formation.

The defensive power of a fifth-grade, superior-grade formation was immensely formidable. In theory, even if 3 to 5 late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were to assault it, they would suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, the formation here lacked the guidance of a demon emperor. With the dozen or so True Monarchs present joining forces, they had full confidence in breaching it.

Eldrin and the others summoned their spiritual treasures and divine abilities to assail the formation. After a grueling 3 months, they finally managed to tear a fissure in the defensive array.

But at that very moment, 3 streaks of light shot over, actually attempting to rush inside ahead of everyone else.

"How dare you!"

Jiang Moran’s expression darkened with fury. With a swift motion, he summoned a celestial blade and slashed toward 1 of the figures. Eldrin (Person Name) and the others joined the assault, forcing the group to a halt.

At this moment, the crowd finally noticed that these 3 figures were entirely shrouded in demonic aura and the power of Demonic Fiend Qi (Spiritual Root).

7-Winged Demon Emperor, Blackblood Fiend, and Thunderbolt Child.

Jiang Moran's expression was icy as he revealed the origins of these 3 individuals.

It turned out that these 3 were all demons and monsters from near the Xuanyi Continent. That 7-Winged Demon Emperor’s true form was none other than the legendary 7-Winged Celestial Centipede.

Within the Violet Realm, the 6-Winged Sky Centipede stood as a peerless entity of supreme toxicity. Even the Sky Centipede Slaying Immortal Sword—1 of the 5 Poisons Immortal-Slaying Swords—had been tempered into existence through rituals infused with the venom of this very creature.

This 7-Winged Celestial Centipede was a mutated variant of the 6-Winged Celestial Centipede. As a venomous creature, it possessed 7 pairs of wings and its toxicity far surpassed that of its 6-winged counterpart.

It was only because the 7-winged celestial centipedes were far fewer in number than the 6-winged celestial centipedes and also not as easy to raise, which was why the 5 Poisons Patriarch chose the 6-winged celestial centipedes to forge the 5 Poisons God-Slaying Sword.

Before them, the 7-Winged Demonic Emperor was a celestial centipede with 7 wings that had achieved enlightenment. Although his cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm), his venom was overwhelmingly potent. Even a late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse like Jiang Moran could not help but regard him with extreme caution.

The other 2 also had extraordinary origins. The Elder of Black Blood cultivated both the Black Miasma Demonic Art and the Path of the Blood Demon, ultimately creating the Black Blood Great Art. His cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, making him a renowned demonic cultivator even within the 7 Stars Ancient Domain.

Thunderbolt Master was a practitioner of the unorthodox path, whose power had reached the Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm). His sinister cultivation arts were overwhelmingly formidable.

Seeing 3 demons rushing to take advantage of the situation, Jiang Moran’s eyes brimmed with killing intent as he said, “Daring to run rampant in our human territory—aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by us?”

"Hmph." The 7-Winged Demon Emperor sneered coldly before declaring, "This is a heritage site of our demon race. I naturally deserve to claim my share. If you wish to challenge me, you're welcome to try."

The Dark Blood Elder also let out a sinister chuckle, his gaze brimming with greed as he declared, "It is rare for an ancient relic to emerge into the world. This Sovereign naturally claims a share of the spoils."

"Enough talk. Let us begin."

Eldrin's gaze sharpened as he prepared to summon his immortal sword into action.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lilith, Mistress of Desire stopped them. Her eyes flickered slightly as she said, "The situation within the ruins remains unclear. Fighting now would likely leave both sides gravely wounded. We should first enter the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool ruins before making any decisions."

Hearing this, Eldrin (Person Name) also recalled that the whereabouts of Green Verse Sage remained unknown, and only then did he restrain his killing intent.

"Then let us first locate Brother Qingci."

With this thought, Eldrin was the first to plunge into the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.

Everyone, seeing this, temporarily suppressed their killing intent and flew into the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) 1 after another.

The 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) was unfathomably deep. Eldrin (Person Name) and Lyra (Person Name) flew for what seemed an eternity, cutting down countless greater demons and even Demon Kings along the way, before finally arriving before an underground dragon palace.

That dragon palace was extraordinarily majestic, clearly once the abode of the 9 Eldrin Dragon Emperor.

"Wrong."

Suddenly, Eldrin's expression shifted slightly, a trace of solemnity appearing on his face.

"What's wrong?" Lyra asked, noticing the situation.

Eldrin shook his head and spoke, "This spiritual vein is a top-grade, fifth-tier spiritual vein. Logically speaking, since the demise of the 9 Eldrin Jiao Dragons thousands of years ago, a new Demon Emperor should have long since emerged here."

"Moreover, this place was once the ancestral lair of the flood dragon lineage. Even though the demon race of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) was annihilated in the past, it's impossible that not a single survivor escaped. Why is it that not even 1 flood dragon can be seen here today?"

"This..."

Everyone’s expressions turned startled upon hearing this. Jiang Moran couldn’t help remarking, “Logically speaking, if there truly were a powerful demon emperor, they should be able to control this formation.”

Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) arched her brow slightly at these words, her gaze sweeping over the 7-Winged Celestial Centipede (Person Name) and the others before she transmitted her voice: "Regardless, let those 3 be the vanguard."

"Hahaha, the lost treasures of the Dragon Palace."

As he spoke, the Black Blood Elder let out a sinister laugh, his face contorted with wild ecstasy as he charged toward the Dragon Palace.

The 7-Winged Celestial Centipede and Pili Zi, confident in their formidable strength, also charged toward the ruins of the Dragon Palace, eager to seize this treasure.

However, the very moment they stepped into the Dragon Palace, a blindingly brilliant light erupted. Layer upon layer of slaughter formations instantly activated, enveloping them completely with overwhelming killing intent.
